So crazy & busy

Posted by Mika

Sorry folks for not being around and alive. I’ve been rather busy lately - especially these last couple of days because I’m separating from the military. I’ll be a civilian again come 6 May - and until I secure a job, I’ll have so much free time on my hands to get back into the groove of things! So, don’t write me off just yet!

We had our water off since LAST TUESDAY! We just got it turned back on yesterday, so that’s over a week without running water. The water company even admitted there was NO reason for our water to be off, as we weren’t overdue or delinquent on our bill. The got us mixed up with some other address that was - but it took them threats from my husband’s command and base legal before they finally sent a fucking tech to turn the water back on. They had promised to send one out earlier when it first was turned off, but they never followed through.

I can’t believe yesterday was my last day of work. I didn’t get a chance to savor it like everyone else does! That’s what I get for being involuntarily separated :/ Honorably of course! *sigh*

I still love yous guys!!

Lazy lazy

Posted by Mika

I’ve been doing nothing online for the past week, at least. And the past couple of days I’ve managed to avoid being on the computer while at home completely. I feel kind of bad about it, but once I finish all my “daily” browsing, I become so bored - even though I think of all the things I want and should do once I get home. I spent my afternoon/evening napping on the couch last night with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire on in the background. Apparently it looped 3 times, according to my husband.

My nails need some serious help. They’re splitting and cracking and peeling like nobody’s business. I really don’t know what to do about it at the moment. However, I do get paid tomorrow and I should follow up on my original plan to get acrylics to help my nails grow out, at least past the point of where the peeling ends. Acrylics also keep my from picking at my cuticles. That was the actual original reason why I was going to get them.

I should compile a list of things I need to do and keep to it. For I have a LOT of things to do ranging from cleaning entire rooms of the house to putting my camera back together after I disassembled it to help it dry out :/

I have to be in at work tomorrow morning to receive paperwork. Fun :rolleyes:

Geez I’m hungry

Posted by Mika

I actually had something to eat for breakfast and I’m already hungry again! I’m totally going to Wendy’s for lunch today! Taco salad, here I come!

Work sucked yesterday and Friday. We’ve been having reallly craptacular weather these past couple of weeks. I finally get a break today and hopefully tomorrow. I’ve got pilot weather briefings today. I’m back to days so I’ll be more motivated to work on stuff during the day after work. I actually have a time I need to wake-up so unless I crash SUPER early, I’ll be sleeping an average of 5-8hrs a night when I’m working.

I’ve replaced the old fav icon for the site with a cute little cloud and also added one to my QBee quilt. I’ve also been messing with font sizes. I’m having a somewhat difficult time trying to get the right sizes in the various units of measurement available.

My new thing this past month or so has been going straight to the website section of peoples’ websites and seeing what kind of scripts and/or WP plug-ins they’re using. I’ve become quite the plug-in download maniac. I know this usually happens with people and the content pages of websites. As far as that goes, I tend to see what kind of emoticons/website icons they have available to see if I can find any cuter/prettier ones than I’ve already downloaded. I want to make some of my own, but I don’t think I’d make very cute ones. I like soft, smooth kinds of (emot)icons.

One of these days I shall work on validating this website as best I can. I finally got my own coding down on my quilt, so let’s see if I can work on my pages with somebody else’s theme.

… I’m ready to crash and I’ve got about an hour and a half left of work. :sigh:

New theme

Posted by Mika

I’ve applied a new theme for spring - something light, simple and refreshing. I think this shall do ^_^ . Also, if you haven’t already noticed - I’ve redesigned my QBee quilt again. However, this time I’m good and happy with it, as most graphics were done by me and I just took the time to validate all the XHTML, which I’ve never done before :D , so HUZZAH!

Speaking of the Q Bee, I’ve been selected as Bee of the Week this week! :) That was a pleasant surprise.

You know what really Grinds My Gears? Visiting websites at work to find that they host all their images on friggin Photobucket or Flickr. And I’m talking about domains hosting non-photographic images on Flickr and items they’re not providing for direct-linking on Photobucket. I mean, what the heck? I guess these folks have had THAT much of an issue with hotlinking. It still makes my free-time at work that much more disparaging, though. Grr!

An hour and a half into work and already I’m tired and a little peeved. I have no work to do until about an hour or so before my shift ends. How nice.

Total randomness!

Posted by Mika

And here I thought it was Monday still…

I could’ve sworn American Psycho was an older movie (as in 1990s - not 2000).

This new medication I’m on makes me super drowsy forever and I wonder if I should continue taking it because I don’t think I really need it. Blah.

I really hate the fact that not only has my work blocked Photobucket, but they went ahead and blocked Imageshack and Flickr. A lot blogs I’ve been browsing lately use these sites to store the pictures/graphics they use on their websites, so for the 8 hours at work, I can’t see a lot of images when I’m browsing around. it annoys the poo out of me. Speaking of which, now that I’ve paid my necessary bills, I’ve renewed my Flickr Pro account for 2 years. Huzzah! I’m gonna take some time this weekend (work weekend that is) to organize it and weed out photos I don’t actually care to share with family and such. Those can go on my MySpace (party pictures are what I’m primarily referring to).

I was trying out some new themes the other day, but I don’t know if I should just leave well enough alone. Either way, I want to spend a good amount of time focusing on tweaking and adjusting things either with this theme or a new one. I don’t think I’m ready to begin developing my own yet - but I think I did fairly decently with my QBee quilt (I still want to change and tweak the hell out of that one!).

No more tweets!

Posted by Mika

I’ll leave my Twitter tweets on the sidebar and out of the main of my blogging.

I’ve got a wicked headache right now and I feel rather lethargic. After going out and getting pretty drunk last night, things could be worse. I slept most of my hangover away today. I think I’d rather be sleeping still, but after staying up 32 hours yesterday and going to bed drunk around midnight or so last night and sleeping all day today, I need to get back on a normal sleep schedule. Not that my sleep schedule on mids is anything like normal… Buh.

I’m trying to get into pixeling (thanks to the revived interest in The QBee). I’ve learned some tricks already, but since I don’t have much skill yet in actually drawing things yet, I’ve been searching around for bases/lineart to fill in and practice shading on. Unfortunately, it’s apparently a lucrative business as almost all the lineart I’ve Googled is only available to paying members of whatever site I happen to be visiting. >_<

I made a handful of "glitter fills" friday morning. I'll put them up here later... I feel lazy tonight. I think I'll just kill my time staying awake watching Sex and the City on YouTube.

I think a bath would be nice right now, but I don’t know how disturbing to the sleeping hubby that would be. I’m also craving dinner at a teppan restaurant the past couple of days. Maybe I can get the hubby to go out to one tomorrow night before or after a movie! :) Just the two of us… I love him :lust:
